Becoming a Pamoja teacher.
The role of a Pamoja teacher is first and foremost to facilitate learning - not direct it. Pamoja teachers are committed to doing more than supporting students in achieving good results. They are dedicated to developing students' capacity as independent and collaborative learners. To achieve this goal, Pamoja teachers must give students room to learn - and let go of some traditional face-to-face, teacher directed, student management strategies. Pamoja's platform, systems and personnel are dedicated to closely monitoring student progress and intervene when and where appropriate. However, teachers trained in skilful student management can reinforce the student's responsibility for learning without neglecting them and develop their independence from teacher-directed learning.
The approach to teaching is very similar between Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International AS and ALevel and IB Diploma Programme(DP)Courses, with all courses operating to a 33-week timetable in Year 1 and a 29-week timetable in Year 2.
